A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles after his team defeated England in a rugby match. 26 year-old Geoff Huish was so convinced that his team would be defeated, he told friends “If Wales wins I’ll cut my balls off”.

They thought he was joking but he went home after the match, severed them with a knife and returned to show his mates what he had done.

Staff dialled 999 and put the testicles in a pint glass filled with ice cubes.

Here in Canada, there are commercials for the NHL (Hockey) that say “What would you do?” (To win the Stanley Cup) With the reply: “I’d chew tin foil”. If I were a business man in Wales, I’d be making T-Shirts that say: “What would you do?” “I’d cut my balls off”.
